Good cpu . It's RISC management helps. Although it throttles the performance, adds to the endurance

This isn't a good chip by any means, maybe it'll be good for smart watches (I doubt it tho) I can't believe Qualcomm released this in 2019, there are much better alternatives in mediatek of unisoc

I've just purchased a Vodafone Smart P11 and it is running android 10 go edition with the Qualcomm snapdragon 215 CPU chipset! Well what can I say except WCDMA have failed miserably with this phone, I'm renaming it CRAPdragon! It doesn't like multitasking, processes are slow, play store downloads are painstakingly slow, Facebook crashed it took 3 reinstalls to fix, call quality is rubbish, phone freezes, battery is a joke and so on. I'm going to upgrade to a GSM Nokia 2.2 which is a similar spec and similar price but the MediaTek Helio A22 looks to be far superior than this lemon! I should of trusted GSM over Wcdma as they have never let me down in the past, happy days!..)

Now expect a Samsung Note 10 with this new chipset because SD855 is getting 3/4 year old.

This happens when these MNCs doesn't have proper competition, they take whatever price they want and they get it, put rubbish SoCs in market without much of an improvement.
And they do have made name in lots of 3rd World Countries, Snapdragon SoC of any series is accepted as superior then Exynos or MediaTek equivalent.

I wonder if it's Android that sucks so much or do nowadays processors. Nokia 808 that sported 41 mpx camera had single core 1,3ghz arm 11. Granted, it also had dedicated camera co-processor but that too was single core.

Better options are Redmi 7A which is a sub $100 phone which already has sd 439. Or a Huawei Y6 2019 with Helio A22. Or add some more cash for Nokia 3.2 with SD 429.

I like Snapdragon 200 series. Snapdragon 210 was their most efficient and power sipping. I owned an LG Tribute 5 and the 2100mAh was moderately long when only playing music. 64-bit is a huge upgrade because the majority of app developers use Google Play, and in two years 32-bit apps will be removed, making a lot of Android smartphones obsolete(but imagine the prices for them). Dual cameras are nice, but I do not want to pay under 100 dollars for a dual camera phone, because custom ROMs did not work with my M8. 19:9 ratio support and between means low end phones will have tall screens, but in my mind this only tells me Qualcomm wants to phase out 16:9. Upgraded ac Wi-Fi is faster than n Wi-Fi, and although I am concerned I think ac uses much more battery life than n, USB tethering would provide faster internet to computers. Overall a chipset for budget phones of the future, with the positives and the negatives both weighed.

Peter-B, 09 Jul 2019These are the phones that used the Snapdragon 212. Also, the Redmi Go uses the Snapdragon 425,... moreAll of them are ancient period phones. Lumia 650 odd a huge fail

Peter-B, 09 Jul 2019Not quite. The S425 also has a better modem (X6 vs. X5) and dual ISP (but no dual cam support)... moreI see that now.
The SD425 page doesn't show any IMS features (VoLTE, EVS, WiFi Calling) though, which is why I assumed it had improved comms but then I saw that page (https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-Max-M1/Tech-Specs/) which says the SD425 support at least WiFi Calling and VoLTE. I guess what's new is the official 19:9 screen support and EVS. With a few downgrades as you said.
It would make a lot of sense to drop the SD425, especially with the SD429 available, and give this instead to the lowest tier. Though honestly I'd just drop the whole 4 series.
